ParserComp 2023

ParserComp is for previously unreleased, parser-based text games: games which take a free-text input, parse it, and produce an output which typically is more text.

This is the 4th ParserComp. Hosted on itch.io.

This year, works are divided into 'Classic' and 'Freestyle' categories.
